Every once in a while I'd see her smile
And she'd turn my day around
A girl with those eyes
Could stare through the lies
And see what your heart was saying
Think of Laura
But laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way (hey)
When you think of Laura
Laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
A friend of a friend
A friend to the end
That's the kind of girl she was
Taken away so young
Taken away without a warning
Think of Laura
But laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way (hey)
When you think of Laura
Laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
I know you and you're here
In everyday we live
I know her and well she's here
I can feel her when I sing
Hey Laura (Laura)
Where are you now?
Are you far away from here?
I don't think so
I think you're here
Taking our tears away
Think of Laura
But laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way (hey)
When you think of Laura
Laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
... Hey, hey...
Well, I know, she'd want it that way
Hey, Laura, hey, Laura
I know she'd want it that way
Hey, Laura
Hey, Laura
I know you want it that way

M.Y.M.P.

M.Y.M.P are a five-man band from the Philippines known for their infectious, acoustic pop ballads that gained local notoriety in the mid-2000s.

Founded in 1995 by Chin Alcantara when he made the band name as a tribute to his deceased mother, the band remained in relative obscurity until they were discovered by Raymund Ryan Santes, a station manager of a local radio station, 93.9 iFM. Upon being discovered and signing to Ivory Music, the band shelled out five studio albums (Soulful Acoustic, Beyond Acoustic, Versions, New Horizon, Now) and a live album (Live at the Music Museum). Some of the hits that came out of this period were songs such as “Tell Me Where It Hurts”, and “Kailan”.

The band is known for having a rotating cast of members aside from Chin Alcantara. As of 2020, they’ve had a total of four different vocalists. Nina, Juris Fernandez, and Jana Laraza previously performed female vocals for the band. Their current lead female vocalist is Carmela Ravanilla.
